Abstract

Un circuit de pré-distorsion d'un signal d'entrée v devant être transmis via un amplificateur de puissance ayant une caractéristique de transmission non linéaire pour produire un signal d'entrée pré-distordu y comprend un estimateur (10) qui détermine un signal d'estimation (22) sur la base de la puissance dudit signal d'entrée v. Une table de consultation (20) est prévue pour stocker des coefficients de pré-distorsion complexe BR et AI qui dépendent de la puissance du signal d'entrée v et de la caractéristique de transmission non linéaire de l'amplificateur de puissance déterminée à l'avance. Pour BR, la relation BR = AR - K, K étant une constante avec des applications 0 < K < 2, et AR et AI sont les parties réelle et imaginaire d'une fonction de pré-distorsion complexe qui assure une pré-distorsion du signal d'entrée v de sorte que la distorsion introduite par la caractéristique de transmission non linéaire de l'amplificateur de puissance est sensiblement compensée en fonction de l'intensité et de la phase. Un dispositif de pré-distorsion est également prévu pour effectuer la pré-distorsion du signal d'entrée conformément à la relation y = v • (K + BR + jAI).
